'''Conker''' is the protagonist of the ''{{wp|Conker (series)|Conker}}'' series of games made by [[Rare Ltd.]] He is a friend of [[Diddy Kong]]'s, and he made his debut appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' alongside [[Banjo]]. Just like Banjo, he would later appear in a series of his own games. While currently portrayed by Rare as a vulgar adult-oriented figure (as seen in mature-rated games such as ''{{wp|Conker's Bad Fur Day}}'' and {{wp|Conker: Live & Reloaded|its Xbox remake}}), Conker debuted as a cheery and playful character, as seen in his debut appearance and his first starring role in ''{{wp|Conker's Pocket Tales}}''. | '''Conker''' is the protagonist of the ''{{wp|Conker (series)|Conker}}'' series of games made by [[Rare Ltd.]] He is a friend of [[Diddy Kong]]'s, and he made his debut appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' alongside [[Banjo]].

In 2002, Rare was sold to {{wp|Microsoft}}, causing [[Nintendo]] to lose the rights to the ''Conker'' franchise. As a result, in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', Conker is replaced by [[Dixie Kong]]. Despite Conker's absence, his theme music is still incorporated into the selection screen theme song. | In 2002, Rare was sold to {{wp|Microsoft}}, causing [[Nintendo]] to lose the rights to the ''Conker'' franchise.

*'''Instruction booklet bio''' (page 24): "''(Medium acceleration, medium weight, good handling, medium top speed) Another friend made by Diddy Kong on one of his endless adventures with Donkey Kong, Conker is an exploration nut who’ll jump at any chance to break free of a squirrel’s less than exciting daily routine. He’s eager to join up with Banjo as the bear passes through.''" | |||
*'''[[Nintendo Power#Player's Guides|Player's Guide]]''' (page 7): "''Before heading back, Squawks made one more stop at the home of a certain devil-may-care squirrel named Conker. He may not end up with many nuts in his winter store, but Conker couldn’t pass up the chance for some excitement. Besides, he figures he might pick up a few pointers from the others before starting his own quest for adventure.''" | |||
*'''''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 103''' (page 14): "''Conker the courageous squirrel is biding time until his own game comes out next year, but in the meanwhile he has a thing or two to prove. His attributes are identical to Timber’s, making him a solid racer in any vehicle.''" | |||
*'''''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' [[Prima Games|Prima]]'s Official Strategy Guide''' (page 35): "''Another good middle-of-the-pack character, Conker probably has a slight edge when it comes to acceleration and handling, though his weight is somewhat less than every animal except Pipsy. As with the mouse, that means Conker is easily shoved aside when the animals start trading elbows in a tight turn, and his medium top speed keeps him in the thick of things.''" | |||
